Researchers measured a specific flavonoid in lemon peel compared to lemon juice from the exact same fruit. The peel contained more than ten times as much.
In this video, FoodLogic breaks down the science: how hesperidin and eriocitrin strengthen capillary walls and reduce vascular leakiness, how D-limonene in the peel's oil glands supports your liver's detoxification enzymes, why the white pith (not just the colored peel) is rich in cholesterol- and blood sugar-regulating pectin, and exactly how to prepare a lemon to actually get all three.
No brand partnerships. No sponsored science. Just the biology of what you eat, and why it matters more than you think.
